Summary

From 2015 to May-2021, I worked within supervision in logistics and warehouse management. I took a year off to focus on being a new mom and had my first baby in May 2021. I started as a logistics supervisor at the age of 20 and gained five years of experience training and supervising staff while planning and implementing strategies to improve production productivity and create new standard operating procedures that simplified the job for both employees and employers. I was responsible for the distribution and fulfillment departments with accounts like Amazon.com, True Value Distribution, do it Best Corporation, and Blish-Mize Company. After Larsen Supply Company, I worked for Physicians Formula as a night shift supervisor. I was an organized, fair, and firm leader who treated all with kindness and respect. I supervised the night crew compounders, pre-weighers, and dishwashers. We all worked together to reach our daily quotas and produce the cleanest products.

Unfortunately, this was the time that covid-19 began; the plant was shut down, so I decided to move back to logistics. I began working as a logistics coordinator in July 2020 for Alpine Corporation, where we worked as a team alongside other departments and dealt with a real-time inventory system that kept everyone accountable and productive. Throughout the years and various companies, I strengthened and grew my ability to simultaneously manage various projects, schedules, and departments while maintaining accuracy and efficiency. Most importantly, I have learned to be a strong independent leader who can create a community of mutual respect and understanding within a company's rules, regulations, and standard operating procedures. I am a very diverse person with the desire to continue growing and expanding my skills and incorporating them into every company I work for. Overall, I am a dedicated professional with proven customer service skills, enhancing satisfaction through effective communication and problem-solving. Experienced in managing inquiries and streamlining operations to support team success.
